Live Online Webinar with Monique Mitchelson
Neurodivergent Clinical Psychologist, Co-Director of Divergent Futures, Author & Podcast Co-Host
In this live 3-hour webinar, Monique Mitchelson examines the co-occurrence of Autism, ADHD & BPD – discussing and answering the question:
Due to increased understanding and research on gender bias and stereotypes, along with the neurodiversity affirming movement in psychology becoming best practice, there has been a rise in diagnosis of Autism and ADHD, especially in women and gender diverse folk. This has led to further understanding of the co-occurrence of Autism and ADHD with BPD, as well as misdiagnosis of BPD in Autistic & ADHD folk — particularly those with complex trauma and PTSD.
What the latest research tells us about BPD, Autism and ADHD
About co-occurrence and misdiagnosis of BPD when there are neurodevelopmental differences
Differential diagnosis
Considerations for adapting treatments
such as DBT for neurodivergent people with co-occurring BPD
To shift from working with a mental health lens to a neurodevelopmental disability lens
Mental health clinicians
This presentation will encourage practitioners to engage in clinical reflection and practice shifts from working with a mental health lens to a neurodevelopmental disability lens.
Recording available for 90 days after the session
